[Copied from Machine Polishing forum where it seemed to be dead in the water...hope that's okay!] Hiya guys, So, first of all a little background: I have a PC7424XP w/HD UNO and a UNOPAD. I am working on a Black Magic Pearl 2007 VW GTI. I have done this exactly once! I bought the car used...

Hiya guys, So, first of all a little background: I have a PC7424XP w/HD UNO and a UNOPAD. I am working on a Black Magic Pearl 2007 VW GTI. I have done this exactly once! :) I bought the car used, and it has been well cared for but not babied. There were significant swirls and some areas...

Hiya guys, Still looking into getting a new car (MKVI VW GTI), having a hard time deciding between white and red. The car looks fantastic in red, but I'm not sure I could pull that off forever, and I am also really concerned about how many faded red cars I see and how many truly red older...

Ye detailing gods, :) I probably should have known there was a good chance I would be posting a thread like this before I started, but oh well. Anyway, so I tried to touch up a few paint chips this weekend, and a lot of them went badly. The first issue is that I had a VW/Audi paint pen...

Hiya guys, I have a little predicament on my hands: I just placed a big order from AutoGeek, but it doesn't look like UPS will be able to get it here by this weekend. I was really hoping to spend most of the weekend working on my paint. I think I have just about everything I *need*, but I...

Okay, last new thread for me tonight. :) So, as previously mentioned, I am in the process of ordering a new car. Said new car has super funky plaid cloth seats. I know how to take care of leather, but I'm not really sure what to do about cloth. I take good care of my stuff, but I would...

Hi guys, So I am in the process of negotiating getting a new car. Part of the process is going to be for the dealer not to wash it. However, I have done this before, and last time the car had a lot of adhesive residue from the protective film used for shipping. It was a major PITA to get...

Hello detailing experts! So, I had fully decided to get a PC7424XP, but it looks like being overwhelmed and not able to make a quick decision may actually work in my favor. Here is a quick overview of my story: I currently have a 2007 VW GTI in "black magic pearl." The paint is in good...

Hiya guys, I tried posting this earlier but it didn't seem to go through...not sure why. Anyway, I apologize if this is a double-post. I have been following all the similar threads about this issue, and honestly at this point I feel like I am getting *more* confused the more I read! So...

Howdy y'all... Apologies for starting another one of these threads. I know there are a lot of them out there, and I feel like I've read them all! At this point, I feel like I am getting *more* confused the more I read. So, first up I will be working on a 2007 VW GTI, black magic paint in...

Hi y'all, Not new here, but it's been a looooooong time! I have recently acquired a 2007 VW GTI in "black magic" and am just getting started on being serious about detailing again. I'm a little confused about the paint...I have read that VW/Audi clears tend to be very hard and maybe even...

Hiya guys, Apologies for being uninformed...I did search but with such a vague term it's a bit of a quagmire. Also, a bit of background: I was very into this kind of thing about 6-8 years ago, but am out of practice and am just getting back into it. "Back in my day," all MF towels were...
